Sarah Palin Week Kicks Off In The Media

It's now officially Sarah Palin week in the media.

With the publication of her Going Rogue set for Tuesday, Palin appears on Monday's "Oprah" and will appear in a five-part interview with Barbara Walters for ABC News. The Walters interview will air on "Good Morning America," "World News," and "Nightline" Tuesday, continue on "GMA" Wednesday, and conclude on "20/20" Friday night.

The New York Post reports that Palin is also expected to drop by Fox News for an interview with Sean Hannity Wednesday.

Previews of Palin's interviews with Oprah — where she said Levi Johnston is welcome for Thanksgiving and acknowledged that the Katie Couric interview wasn't her best —
and Walters — where she admitted that she didn't know her daughter Bristol was sexually active before her pregnancy — have already come out to massive media attention, with even more to come as the interviews roll out.

Palin's book is seen as the first step in a potential Presidential campaign, and her book tour will take her to several states that are traditionally battleground states in presidential elections.

"Sarah Palin's desire to settle old scores, while doing little to add to her credibility as a serious leader, does generously add to the on-going soap opera that is the Republican party. We wish her the best of luck on her tour," said DNC National Press Secretary Hari Sevugan.

Oprah is getting in a habit of bringing on guest who are known LIARS !!

Nice job Photoshopping Oprah's hand around Palin's waist.

Please, "O". Have you no shame? As always, the answer is "NO".

i'm confused. the msm is a right wing tool or they are so desperate for any kind of viewer they are
plastering this loon on every show.(and using the the word - exclusive - to boot.) voters identifying
as limpuglicans are under 20%. those supporting the winker are lower than that. her level of support
is equal to flat-eathers, holocaust deniers, and conspiracy theroists everywhere. her book is
down to $9 at walmart...­..........­..she is the reality show that will not go away......­........pl­ease
relegate news of this character to twitter specifically made for twits like her.

what ever happened to paris hilton....­..........­..

All you rabid Palin fans, aren't you listening to what your own party members are saying about her book and her fantasy life and her tendency to make things up as she goes along? Nicolle Wallace, for example, has basically called this book a "bizarre fixation" with events that every one else has moved on from. She has denied everything Palin said about her. Says Palin simply made it all up.

You can maybe go on Oprah to sell books and convince folks to not buy the book.
Only die hard GOP-ers are going to buy this exploration into fantasy land.

Despite what I think of Palin, my absolute first thought when seeing the photo was, "When the heck do her kids ever go to school?"

Second thought: "She's dragging her kids all over the place during the H1S1 flu epidemic? Are Bristol's kid and Trig also being dragged along, when they are at risk?"

There was something familiar from the first time I saw a Palin interview, and the impression nags still. I finally got it. Her style represents exactly why I wound up with jobs I didn't really want.
I'd go into an interview always thinking I was prepared. Then, at the first question my mind would pretty much go blank, each item I wanted to emphasize about my qualification coming back piecemeal and completely out of context and out of proper order.
To make up for this lapse, I would always begin talking as fast as I could with general inanities, stalling for time and hoping my memory would revive and I could settle down. That never happened. I just kept talking nonsense, and as I became more and more aware that I was talking nonsense, I would talk faster--co­­mpensatin­g by throwing in a 'big word' now and then, hoping the interviewer would be so impressed with the quality of my vocabulary that my wordsmithing alone would carry me through and secure the job (sound like any beauty pageant interview you've ever seen?) Sometimes I got the job. More often, I got the job I didn't really want to begin with. This failing was mine and mine alone. However, it is not a trait I would expect to see in someone trying to sell the idea that they are qualified to run the country. Sarah Palin is, was, and always will be a joke

We are in "sweeps" month. November is one of the most important months in broadcasting where you need to grab as many viewers as possible in order to negotiate your rates with advertisers throughout the next year. So, if Caribou Barbie reels in the eyeballs, say hello to the lowest common denominator. It's all about numbers and dollars.

[claudiam]

I would love to know what Oprah really thinks of Palin. I have the utmost respect for Oprah; zero for Palin. claudiatucson

Hey, personally I love Sarah Palin. She makes me smile. Sometimes I bust a gut laughing really hard. I am one of many Americans that hope she stays in the spotlight! Go on Sarah! Keep doing what you doing! You make the online news fun to read! Especially the comments!

[americansfordecency]

I have been asking the same question. Are her children being home schooled?

[Roma6888]

No offense to you Sarah, but you are a dangerous person.

[gs-425]

Please....do share.

[Roma6888]

To our country, constitution, civil liberties and most importantly, our sanity.

BluffPo Media page....all FOX, all Palin, all the time.

[GlowOn]

silly boy.

[Siebenstein]

The media's obsession with this PoS is utterly d+i.sg/us-ting and quite frankly proofs how low the media sank in its 'intellectuality' and it's belief of how low in intellectuality they think the American people are.

[Carsy]

The MSM likes to think they have the power to make or break a politician. That is why they are now all over Palin and the reason she is being discussed as a serious candidate. MSM thinks they are the ones that brought her down last year, the reason she didn't win and now they think they can resurrect her this year. It is a control/ego thing.

[TeamSarah4CHOICE]

No. The media knows Palin brought herself down.

[Siebenstein]

The media's obsession with this PoS is utterly disgusting and quite frankly proofs how low the media sank in its 'intellectuality' and it's belief of how low in intellectuality they think the American people are.
